what does this mean? how to solve this?

When a video is first posted onto Newgrounds, they put it up for judgement for people to 'save' (as in keep the video into Newground's semi-permanent archives) or 'blam' (delete your video).

It should go away when you reach enough votes for it to be either deleted or submitted into the world!

Granted, but you forget.

Speaking of the Matrix, I wish for Morpheus's sunglasses.

Granted, but a criminal mugs you and steals your sunglasses.
I wish I knew the question to the answer 42.

Ahh *Rubs my head* Thanks for clearing that all up! My grandpa always told me that you learn something new each day - it's nice to have a diplomatic conversation, right? Like you said, politics always end up on a heated debate and hurtful words thrown at each other, so I went to Newgrounds to have active conversations and learn more about these things with less verbal violence.

It was nice we could reach an understanding orangebomb, and I really appreciate you pointing out the facts for me! I wish you luck in this - you seem very knowledgeable about these political things. Are you a historian? Again, thank you :D

Maybe, one day, we could hold another discussion when I learn more in this field?

Sorry if I offended you but the United States has been going into war for the past decades with approval from the Congress. The President does have supreme authority of the military (like you said, short of going to war), but Congress never officially declared war past 1945. You could check it online governmental archives and research it further but, on no point, did the United States wait long enough for approval from the Congress.

We needed to take fast action so the steps were ignored for immediate response. Like how a police officer doesn't need a search warrant if they have a reasonable cause for their actions (Such as arresting a man at a crime scene who was holding a gun).

Protesting does work to some extent due to pressure. It's sort of like peer pressure, threaten them with less funding from their respective interest group and politicians won't have enough money for their next campaign. Not only that, a political leader will always pick a side with more support in controversial decisions in the case of losing a massive amount of votes to the next office.

Criticizing is a human thing - like how you're criticizing me and I to you. Like how we criticize someone based on their looks or how good a movie or game is, I'm just restating such a fact to reaffirm my position on these matters and strengthen my monologue. Despite such things, we share different opinions but I hope to have a debate over such matters in peace and with less retorts and insults.

I really do love civilized political discussions and, knowing you will probably take chunks of my words and deign yourself upon them, I hope we could discuss over our opposing views and have persuasive battles of words. It is a request not out of hand, correct?

I take it that you don't know jack shit about executive power, much less realize that the president is the commander-in-chief of the military, which means he can do whatever he wants short of declaring war. Plus, if we declared war on any country, then every industry would be converted to help out the war effort, even if it isn't needed by today's standards.

I have no idea how politics works

Protesting doesn't do jack because the government isn't going to listen to career protesters who don't know what they want. Plus, you can't expect to curb executive power when the power itself has been around for decades if not longer without complaint before, especially if you're totally in the dark on how it actually works.

Then again, we just criticize these days.

It's easy to criticize because we are cynical when it comes to politics, and we are reactionary to any political news. You're really wet behind the ears when you're complaining about things that we already know about, much less on how it actually works. If I didn't know anything, I would guess that you're the OP's puppet.

Sadly, we never had any sort of Congressional approval for wars since World War II. Since then, we've been in the Vietnam War, Korean War, Gulf War, etc...

We needed to act fast, I suppose, and we got used to this sort of schedule. Perhaps we should just let the president use his new power inducted after 1945. We should just interfere when we determine that power is swaying towards the Executive side of things and try to balance everything out again. Until then, the president holds power to bring our nation to war in his fingertips, unless we protest, of course.

Then again, we just criticize these days. Protesting is mostly an online sort of thing and the entire political branches are getting used to lobbyists hounding them in every corridor. Everyone turns a blind eye...
